There is a new store called “Wine and Cheese If You Please” opening soon on Hilton Head Island. The store will be completely stocked with wine, beer, cheese, soft drinks and really nice people. The address is 24G Palmetto Bay Road. (This is a “Rollers” owned store.) Store manager Camille Copeland and her knowledgeable staff have worked hard to make a unique presentation to the shopping public.
I’m as guilty as the next person. When I drink wine as an accompaniment to food, or to just have a glass with friends, I usually think of California, Italy, Spain, or whatever. Certainly not Maryland…Until now! Our number two daughter lives in Sykesville, Maryland.

Warm spring weather fills me with added appreciation for the beautiful place in which we live. The air is fresher, the grass is greener, the azaleas are in full bloom – even the water seems bluer! I'm reminded of a time when I hadn't even heard of Tomato Pie or Red Rice, back before I learned how to peel shrimp, before I had ever eaten an oyster – let alone shucked one!
On Tuesday evening, March 6th, I was privileged to attend the dinner at Charlie’s L’etoile Verte Restaurant. This event was part of the series of dinners put on by the “Great Chefs of the South” for the Hilton Head Food and Wine Festival.
